Funded by the COST Action TD1210 KNOWeSCAPE, our short term scientific mission to
The Netherlands, from 9th to 17th of July, aimed to study metrics and evidence suitable for
institutions which operate in areas of high interdisciplinarity at Data Archiving and
Networking Services (DANS).
Many scientific organisations publish annually or for longer period reports, in order to
present the research that they have done in various scientific fields. Furthermore, these
publications indicate the progress that has done in a specific period of time and how the
organisations have reached their goals. These reports could namely be annual reports,
activity reports, business and/or scientific reports, etc.
INTRODUCTION
OBJECTIVES
CONCLUSIONS
The classification of reports from different organisations and countries, into a systematic
way was a really interesting endeavour, especially why they cover various periods and
scientific disciplines and the elements allow us to make useful comparisons between
research production of countries .
We thought that will be interesting to survey how the production of scientific knowledge
interconnect the academic institutions with industries to create more efficient products
which will be certificated. So, the research acquires a practical scope and the industries
obtain a strong ally and useful scientific tools for their healthy development.
In addition, the publication of scientific or business reports serves one more very important
function. In these reports, since the funded research projects or the results of surveys are
published, which many times fulfilled by EU or private sector, the need for transparency is
answered. The sponsors can see the results of their investment, provided benefits in the
whole community.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
We would like to express our gratitude to the COST Action which funded us, specifically Dr. Andrea
Scharnhorst, the Chair of the Action and coordinator of the STSM for the TD1210. Her supporting and
guidance were crucial. We would also express our deepest gratitude to our Prof. Panayota Polydoratou
from ATEI of Thessaloniki for her trusting and supporting us in our endeavour. She has walked with us
through the project, without her suggestions we could not complete this work in the best way.
The main objective of this study was to categorise and analyse the data of six reports
published by different scientific organisations, all collaborators of DANS in The
Netherlands, Switzerland and Germany.

METHODOLOGY
The methodology comprised desktop research, brainstorming sessions with the team
members at DANS and the supervisors of the study both in The Netherlands and Greece,
observation and empirical analysis using the classification scheme UDC. The scientific and
business reports of six organisations which take action in the same interdisciplinary
environment categorised:
by time
by place
by institutional type and
by the type of each report (business or scientific)
ANALYSIS
Our work included the following steps:
We started by having a look to all reports and
following by having a search in the web to find elements for the mission and
organisation of institutes that published them.
We also searched for authors whose articles were included in the reports.
After that, we decided that we needed to write down some extra elements referred to the
topics of the reports in order to identify specific scientific field(s) and define the structure
of our categorisation based on UDC scheme, initially by topic. For this purpose, we
searched the contents of each report, the title and the summary of each article looking for
key-words that revealed the topic. This was the most time-consuming process of our entire
try due to print format of reports.
After we have defined the topics, we mapped the topics of the scientific fields of the
reports to the main categories on UDC classification system. Furthermore, we categorized
them by time, by place, by institutional type and by the type of each report (business or
scientific).
Concerning research topics, we can notice that they cover interdisciplinary fields. We used
the UDC system to classify them in general categories. So, in the table below we can see
these categories by numeric coding where:
0 refers to Science and Knowledge. Organisation. Computer Science
1 refers to Philosophy. Psychology.
2 refers to Religion. Theology.
3 refers to Social Sciences.
5 refers to Mathematics. Natural Sciences.
6 refers to Applied Sciences. Medicine. Technology.
7 refers to The Arts. Recreation. Entertainment. Sport.
8 refers to Language. Linguistics. Literature.
9 refers to Geography. Biography. History.

FURTHER STUDY
We suggest a further study of scientific or business reports which many of them are grey
bibliography, so that information specialists categorise and document them by a systematic
manner, deposit them in institutional repositories and make them public as open access
documents. This step will allow information specialists to deal with this type of
information and analyse them by interesting visualisations. A visualised analysis will easily
reveal connections among research institutes and business, funded projects and inter-
disciplinary fields.
